About

Watch YouTube Shorts in the normal, full-screen player automatically.

Tired of the TikTok-style Shorts player? Classic View restores the traditional YouTube viewing experience you love. With a brand new, modern design and powerful new features, taking control of your playback has never been easier.

🚀 KEY FEATURES:

Auto-Forward: Automatically redirect every Short to the classic video player. No clicks needed.
Modern UI: A sleek, dark-mode interface to manage your settings.
Native Experience: Enjoy full player controls (scrubbing, volume, speed) that the Shorts player hides.
💎 PRO FEATURES (New!):

Smart Whitelist: Want to keep Shorts for specific creators? Add Channel Names or Video IDs to your whitelist, and Classic View will let them play as Shorts while converting everything else.
HOW TO USE:

Install the extension.
Pin it to your toolbar.
Open the menu to toggle "Auto-Forward" on/off.
(Optional) Upgrade to Pro to unlock the Smart Whitelist!
